From left: Brexit secretary David Davis and EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels yesterday
In Brussels the British revealed
They won’t keep their land border sealed

But then Dave met Michel
And promptly proceeded to yield.

Pollution on the Tolka at Drumcondra’s Griffith Park, Dublin 9 in 2014
For years now out waters have been
So dirty it’s downright obscene
It can’t be disputed
They’re far too polluted
Oh when will our rivers run clean?

If prices increase
The British might cease
To make our food their first port of call

Joshua Witt (above) has been arrested after admitting he made up knife attack
An American simpleton, Witt
Has proved he’s a bit of a tit
When the tale of his time
As a victim of crime
Went viral, but failed to cut it.

If you like to get punched in the face
Then this is a very big case

If it’s ever okay
For mixed martial arts to take place

On the west coast they know what to do
When facing a foul nazi crew
They’re getting their mutts
To load up their butts
And cover the whole place in poo.

Chris Messina, creator of Twitter’s most ubiquitous feature – the hashtag
The hashtag is now ten years old
So it’s time for its tale to be be told
The boffin called Chris
Who came up with #this
Didn’t do it to earn lots of gold.

London’s ‘Big Ben’ under repair
Big Ben will have a quiet spell
Until London once more hears its knell
So MP Steve Pound
Has said “Gather round
And honour the end of a bell.”
